Heard it on the news this morning but hadn't been able to log on til now. To be honest I wasn't clear this morning as to where exactly in the US this happened.

I saw on CNN that there were reports of it being felt in Toronto ! Holy Cow. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409626 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:40:36 +0000 Aida 409626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear everyone is doing OK. I was so surprised at how far from the epicenter people were feeling shocks! Debora, I was running to class once when a quake hit and didn't notice it at all; and then was thoroughly confused when all the classrooms of students poured out into the outdoor hallways all at once. I couldn't believe I hadn't felt it, either! Glad you heard from your son and that he's okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409582 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 22:26:34 +0000 Jjsloane 409582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a bit shocking as I'm an MidWest and East Coast gal who has seen tornadoes and hurricanes, but this was my first earthquake. My office is 1/2 mile from Dulles Airport and my first thought was a plane too low or crashing (I was 1/4 mile from the Pentagon on 9-11 and it was a similar building shake as that plane buzzed our garage). DH's building was evacuated, but ours was not. Lots to talk about around here, but thankfully all are well and only one photo seems to have fallen (and I can't help think that was the cat...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409563 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 21:53:39 +0000 rae 409563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this! Glad you guys are OK! </p> <p>We haven't had a quake out here in a while - and now there is one in VA? The world is going crazy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409547 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 21:13:19 +0000 Mellllls 409547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>our building was locked down and we were sent home. kind of crazy! it felt kind of like the tower of terror at disney world...before the big big drop. a couple mini drops but no big drop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409545 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 21:03:48 +0000 nancylee 409545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We felt it here in Pennsylvania....crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409543 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:57:28 +0000 Debora 409543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, I'm so glad that your family is okay!</p> <p>Morethanbeige, I didn't realize that you were in Virginia! Glad to hear that you are okay. My son is home now and he was outside when it hit. He said he could feel the earth shaking under his feet and could see the school windows rattling. I still can't believe I didn't feel a thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409535 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:29:33 +0000 Anonymous 409535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad everyone is okay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409490 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:04:43 +0000 morethanbeige 409490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are OK here. The house was shaking. It was scary. I have felt many in CA, but I have never felt anything like this in Virginia. My neighbors asked my husband and I if we brought it from CA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409489 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:03:01 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 409489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to hear that you are both ok and no serious damage done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409487 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:02:47 +0000 Angie 409487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bless you all.

I have some family in Va but haven't heard yet. I read 5.9 and that is a pretty strong jolt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409478 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:49:22 +0000 RoseandJoan 409478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds very frightening, I'm glad you are all okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409476 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:48:50 +0000 Debora 409476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, we posted at the same time! So glad you are okay!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409474 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:47:39 +0000 Debora 409474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Heather! We are all fine here, as far as I know. I'm still waiting to hear from my son, but he should be fine. He's at band camp and should have been out on the field when it hit. I was in the car and didn't feel anything, but my husband felt the ground shake at work (he was on the second floor). I came home to a few crooked pictures on the wall, some spilled papers, and some toppled books in the library. Other than that, no damage. DD (kindrex) even felt it at her desk in NYC!</p> <p>I'm heading back out, but will text Beth and make sure she is okay.</p> <p>Thanks for checking in on us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409469 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:44:15 +0000 Beth 409469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're fine here. Very bizarre feeling though. I was outside, leaning against the wood paddock fence when I felt shaking coming up through the fenceposts, which are about 3' into the ground. Then the ground started to sway. It was like standing on jello.</p> <p>I've felt the ground shake, but never sway like that before. Apparently the epicenter was around 90 minutes from here, but we have relatives who felt it in Connecticut. :O</p> <p>Debora, please check in~ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409461 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:36:54 +0000 Sona 409461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my husband is in DC at a meeting- evacuated but safe. He tells me they are being precautionary before letting people back in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409456 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:34:25 +0000 Diana 409456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope everyone in the area is doing OK! I think I actually felt it in Boston - at the time, I just thought I was a little dizzy or something... but in retrospect it did feel like the earthquakes we had in LA when I was growing up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409451 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:28:47 +0000 modgrl 409451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope everyone is ok! My building was evacuated though we are pretty far and only felt a little tremble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409449 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:27:31 +0000 AJ 409449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, glad your family is safe and sound.</p> <p>Hope all our YLF friends in VA are fine as well. Please let us know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-earthquake-in-va-beth-debora#post-409443 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:23:55 +0000 Heather 409443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth and Debora (and anyone else), I hope you and your families are okay after the earthquake. </p> <p>I have family in Virginia. Everyone seems shocked, but are doing fine.
